  • Forming a chemically cross-linked particle of a desired shape and diameter
    Patent number: 7507772
    Abstract: Chemically cross-linked polymeric particles are formed using mechanical rather than chemical processes, facilitating production of small-diameter particles in a manner largely independent of the viscosity or density of the polymer. For example, an uncross-linked resin may be provided in particulate form, agglomerated, and compressed into a mass of a desired shape with a desired diameter, and subsequently cross-linked.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2009
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Samuel P. Baldwin, Robert P. Skribiski

  • Guidewire for medical use
    Patent number: 4867174
    Abstract: A structure comprising: an elongated, flexible inner element and a substantially water insoluble, biocompatible sheath disposed over the inner element, the structure having a substantially uniform cross-section, being substantially solid, and sized and shaped for insertion into the body of a medical patient, the inner element having a reduced tendency to creep relative to the sheath, and the sheath having increased softness relative to the inner element.

  • Torque-control catheter
    Patent number: 4790831
    Abstract: A catheter includes an elongated tube having a size and shape adapted to be inserted into the cardiovascular system that is composed of a material having a modulus of elasticity providing stiffness to enhance catheter torque control, and a sheath coaxially disposed over and bonded to the tube that is composed of a biocompatible material having a modulus of elasticity providing softness to reduce catheter trauma to the cardiovascular system.
